Hope not a repost but Free Agency officially opens today, not sure if some major moves will occur today or this weekend.
Phils fans www.philliesnation.com having a live chat at 10am
Wish List: Chone Figgins 3b thinking it won't happen but if it did the infield would be flat out ridic
I wouldn't mind Adrian Beltre, if he can be the player he was in LA before his self-exile in Seattle or former Phil Placido Polanco. Would be quite ironic to have him play 3b now since we traded him to Det in the first place to allow Utley to play everyday at 2b and keep Davd LOL Bell playing at 3b.
OBV need to address bullpen issues but currently we have a major hole at 3b to address.
edit: Phils sign Polanco I'm not thrilled, since I obv prefer Figgins, but I am more than content since we addressed an OBV need, next up bullpen.

EDIT: Bob, please tell me that Lucic can save my fantasy hockey team!!
I love Looch but I'm not sure if he is the type of guy to qualify to save your fantasy hockey team. Maybe try and pick up Marco Sturm on waivers? Savard should be back in a week and he'll be the guy I imagine benefits from that.

Maybe try to swing a swing a deal with Detroit for Granderson, using Joba as bait.
Fall off my Tiger bishes, that would be worse than the late season collapse in my eyes.

lol - I doubt it would happen, just trying to unload Joba. The Yanks never should have moved him out of the bullpen in the first place - they had a lock down setup guy and Rivera's heir apparent, and they royally fucked him up.

I dont think it makes sense to trade Joba, he isnt exactly coming off a brilliant season... I personally think he belongs in the bullpen, but think it would be interesting to give him a full year in the rotation without all the tinkering and added pressures... I think the Yanks will resign Damon, and hopefully Pettitte but Im not as sure with him...
You dont think Jorge is going to be doing a lot of Dh'in this year, and we pick up another catcher?

FA catchers
Brian Schneider is best available (sure i might get flamed for that) and still has huge upside plus he is a Phillies killer so I would like him out of the NL east for first time in his career

I actually could see them signing Brian Schneider (2 years 13mill a year)

i dont think the yanks make any major moves this year and instead wait till next year where mauer, webb, halladay, beckett and dunn are free agents.
nady and wang (big ? but hopefully he regains his form from 3 years ago) are coming back. damon and matsui were key during the playoffs but i wouldnt be suprised if both of them were not resigned. if petite wants to play, im sure the yanks will resign him to an incentive deal

the yankees are not signing another catcher for 13 mil a year.
Cervelli will be fine as a backup catcher.

Wang has to be getting non-tendered, no?
I think Minnesota will lock up Mauer this off-season. He's a loyal guy and with that new ballpark they can't afford to lose him after 1 year.

I think you'll see Jorge Posada Day at Fenway Park before you see Mauer leaving Minnesota.

Ben Sheets is an interesting name. If he can somehow stay healthy I think he could end being a steal for someone.
